MELBOURNE, Dec 28, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Pat Cummins took five wickets as Pakistan were bowled out for 264 on day three of the second Test in Melbourne on Thursday to trail Australia by 54 runs.

Pakistan resumed their first innings at 194-6 having lost five wickets for 70 runs in the final session on Wednesday.

Mohammad Rizwan padded up again on 29 and Jamal on two, after light drizzle delayed the start by 45 minutes.

Rizwan departed for 42 while Jamal hit a handy unbeaten 33.

Cummins was the pick of the attack with 5-48, while Nathan Lyon finished with 4-73.

Pakistan have never won a Test series in Australia and have failed to win a Test in the country since 1995.
